what are the best lights

what would be the best lights for this tank; its 4foot 26inch high for plants.

Plants at the moment:
I have mainly in the tank anubias java and moss balls but was thinking about getting better lights and more plants.

The hood I have now has intergrated filter but I dont use it anymore. It also has lights built in but they keep tripping the fuse so I was thinking of scrapping the hood for one of those clip on lights and open top. I am keeping shrimp and small fish like minnows neons etc

the plants you have now are all low light ... adding a T5 HO wouldn't help much ... but you did mention adding more plants ...do you have a list? Is it just sand substrate? I went with the DIY way with my planted tank:
